The mission of SurfAid International, a nonprofit humanitarian aid organization, is to improve the health of people living in isolated regions connected to us through surfing. The Mentawai people, off Indonesia’s West Sumatran coast, face an overwhelming burden of illness on a day-to-day basis.

In the worst-affected villages, one quarter of children die before reaching the age of 12 years from preventable and treatable diseases including acute respiratory infection, diarrhea, bad or unclean birthing, malaria, measles and tetanus.

By fostering community participation, SurfAid’s goal is to decrease the rate of deaths by empowering people and providing community-based health and development programs to control malaria and improve nutrition and hygiene. The programs encourage local communities to continue to make their own improvements in health and quality of life and are designed to work with local government and non governmental organizations to bring about permanent change.

“SurfAid is such a fantastic organization and a true representation of how giving the surfing community can be. I’m really excited about the strings for charity because it is not only a symbol of support but a product that surfers will actually use! I look forward to seeing our little blue strings out in the water,” says Lucy Vincent, Marketing Manager FCS.

“Continuing from their past support for our work, FCS has created a great innovation with the release of their strings for charity. Thanks to FCS, SurfAid International can continue our mission to save lives in the Mentawai and Nias islands,” says Dr Dave Jenkins, Founder and Medical Director, SurfAid International.
